On that note, my baby puts out 91hp at the wheels...so this makes me
wonder, is $5000 for a high-performance engine *really* worth it when it
only gets you +30hp? Well, it would be nice to know what a stock FI car
puts down at the wheels cuz it's less than the rated 65hp (measured at
the crank).


remember though, a stocker all new engine is 1200 for the long block. 
if you add dual 2 barrel carbs you are at 1700+ already and that is for
65hp at the flywheel.  you have 91 hp at the rear wheels or 1/3 more HP
at the wheels that a stocker has at the flywheel.  that is a drastic
increase in performance.
